Clean hands save lives, folks, but boy am I going through hand cream. Here's a quartet of Hands of Hope creams from Philosophy, with 28g each of Sparkling Grapefruit - Hawaiian Hibiscus, Green Tea & Avocado and Coconut & Guava, $21 at Nordstrom Rack. The same size tubes are $10 each at Philosophy, where you'll also find the fragrances Fresh Cream, Lemon Custard, Fig & Pomegranate and Berry & Sage.

I ran into an Ulta this past weekend, for the first time in ages. I had a specific goal and little time, so I did not even look at the perfumes, but I did manage one spur-of-the-moment purchase (so this is not, strictly speaking, still a lemming for me): Heritage Store Aura Glow Gel Cream, in Hydrating Rose. It smells just like the Heritage Rosewater & Glycerin spray I've been using for years, and probably accomplishes nothing more, but it does feel nice on the skin and it promises more positive energy — who doesn't need more positive energy? "Perfect for all skin types, the Hydrating Rose Gel Cream refreshes, smooths and locks in moisture for dewy, more radiant skin. And because Heritage Store believes in positive energy, this cream is crystal-infused with harmonizing Rose Quartz. Infused with Rose Quartz to help bring harmony and positive energy to your life." $18.99 for 50g, and also available in Clarifying Lemon, Brightening Citrus and Calming Lavender.
